Background

Personality

Like most dragons, Camo loves a laugh.[1] He is a real prankster, with one of his favorite tricks creating fruit and vegetables that explode in your shocked face![2] Despite his love of pranks, Camo is serious when it comes to protecting Skylands and its inhabitants.

Biography

Hatched at the roots of the Tree of Life, Camo is half-dragon, half-plant – with effervescent life energy flowing through his scaly leaves. This power allows him to cultivate fruits and vegetables at a highly-accelerated rate, which causes them to explode when they ripen. Camo’s unique gift caught the eye of Master Eon, initially because he was hungry and tried to eat a melon that exploded in his face. But upon realizing his true power, Eon convinced Camo to help the Skylanders protect their world.

Story

History

This plant-dragon hybrid was born by the roots of the Tree of Life, and so possesses the amazing ability to speedily cultivate fruit and vegetables that explode when they are ripe (creating both an everyday eating hazard and a hilarious dinner-party prank). Master Eon found himself at the butt end of this juicy-fruit joke when he visited Camo's idyllic island. While out for a stroll, Eon spotted a perfect melon waiting to be picked. But as he bent over the scrumptious speciment, it exploded, splattering the Portal Master's robe and alarmed old face. As he wiped away the sticky seeds, Eon noticed a pair of prying eyes nearby, clearly enjoying the scene. Eventually, Camo stepped forward and introduced himself. Eon soon invited him to be a Skylander - and, on his days off, the Portal Master's personal gardener.[3]

Gameplay

As a result of being half plant and half dragon, Camo can quickly grow fruits and vegatables that explode when they become ripe. His standard attacks involves firing bursts of solar energy from his mouth and conjuring vines of peppers from his tail that explode like firecrackers at enemies around them. He can also grow a ring of melons around him and send them flying and exploding at surrounding enemies. His
Wow Pow lets him grow exploding pumpkins that explode into smaller pumpkins.

Sowing Destruction (requires level: 9): When Camo stands next to a bursting Melon Bomb (X), he will be charged with seeds for a few seconds. Press Y while charged to shoot Camo's Sunspheres with bonus explosive seeds.

Trivia

The peppers Camo that grow from his tail are among the hottest in all of Skylands. Only the Fire Skylander, Eruptor, has ever been able to eat a whole one. He appeared to have no lasting effects, but he did spend almost a week having to lie down in a darkened room afterwards, and he hasn't been able to look at spicy food since.[4]

In Giants, Camo commonly says fruit and vegatable-related puns and jokes when he talks.

He and Spyro are the only two male dragons originally from Spyro's Adventure to return in Swap Force.

Their horns also become bigger after obtaining their Wow Pow abilities.

Early Swap Force promo boxes at the time had the mistake of labeling Camo as a Series 3 character. This was most likely because Camo was the only Skylander with a Series 2 counterpart in Swap Force who was originally from Spyro's Adventure (not counting Wham-Shell and Warnado, who returned as LightCore Skylanders).

In Swap Force,there is a glitch that Series 2 Camo can pull off where, if on the Melon Master path, one of the attack 3 buttons is held down and the other is pressed rapidly, another ring of melons will grow on top of the first. If this glitch is done with Series 1 Camo, the melon ring will simply replenish itself indefinitely. This glitch will not work on the Wii version.
